i have a 99 ex i put an engine from a 98 ex in it. vacunme line is missing and check engine light is on. my car jerks (shifter also) when i press on and off the gas but in between its fine except when i'm going slow then my car shakes like its going to stall but i'm in a low gear so its all messed up. i have the old engine and thinking about rebuilding it (rod bearings went). but i don't have that much money to spend need some help thanks

try just putting on the other intake manifold and the fuel rail and injectors from the other engine. i know that when i replaced my engine i just used the old manifold and fuel rail and no check engine light.

yeah, and if you cant find where the leak it, spray some wd40 around your engine, and when you spray the leak your car will rev up.
